Summary: Whoever listens to Wisdom will dwell securely.

## Greek text

ἀνθʼ ὧν γὰρ ἠδίκουν νηπίους φονευθήσονται, καὶ ἐξετασμὸς ἀσεβεῖς ὀλεῖ· ὁ δὲ ἐμοῦ ἀκούων κατασκηνώσει ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι πεποιθὼς καὶ ἡσυχάσει ἀφόβως ἀπὸ παντὸς κακοῦ.

## English translation (Claude)

For because they wronged the simple, they will be slain, and inquiry will destroy the ungodly; but the one who listens to me will dwell in hope with confidence and will be at rest without fear of any evil.”
